[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 9311000, member: 25818"] The Scarred Lands was a setting created by White Wolf and sold under their Sword & Sorcery Studios imprint. It's basically a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting, where the world is still suffering under the aftereffects of the Titanswar where the Gods defeated and imprisoned the Titans. In case you're feeling [I]déjà vu[/I], yes, this is indeed the same sort of real-world mythology mined by Wizards of the Coast a decade later for the 4th edition Nerath setting, with its Primordials (Titans) and Dawn War (Titanswar). The parallels are exact. However, the Scarred Lands has some great bits to it, including the best city setting I ever picked up during the glut of 3E product: [B][I]Hollowfaust: City of Necromancers[/I][/B], which is absolutely fantastic. There's also the Carnival of Shadows, a group of kind-of twisted shadow-faerie creatures created by the corruption of biological creatures wherever a Titan's blood fell, but not controlled by any Titan. They form into gangs based on themes (the Krewe of Bones, the Krewe of Plagues, etc.) and are led by a creature called the Laughing Man, or Momus, or the Jack of Tears; whatever his name, the King of the Carnival of Shadows rules from the heart of a region called the Blood Bayou, where Titans' blood fell in enormous quantities during the war. It was updated for 4th edition by Fiery Dragon, and for 5th edition by Onyx Path; there's a bunch of stuff for it on DTRPG. Worth checking out, I really like how original many of the elements are, and have used them in my games no matter the setting. For example, my favorite beholder, the [URL='http://creaturespotlight.blogspot.com/2014/09/ioun-beholder.html']Ioun Beholder[/URL], came from [I][B]Creature Collection II: Dark Menagerie[/B][/I] for 3rd edition, and I used it in 4th edition, tying it to the goddess Ioun.
